About the case
Suchana Seth, the CEO of Bengaluru-based startup Mindful AI Lab, and her four-year-old son had checked into a service apartment in Candolim on January 6, as she did not want the child to meet his father. As per reports, Seth was involved in a complicated custody battle with her husband Venkat Raman.
In a message on January 6, she told her estranged husband that he could meet the child the next day. But nobody was home in Bengaluru when he came over.
As per reports, the hotel staff grew suspicious when Seth, laden with an unusually heavy bag, checked out without her son. Her son's absence raised immediate alarms. Upon entering her room, bloodstains were found along with a handwritten note and immediately alerted the cops.
Th note, confirmed by handwriting experts, described Seth's feud with her husband and the mental exhaustion due to the ongoing court proceedings. The note was written on tissue paper using an eyeliner.
